Tuong Lien d7626b5acf tipc: introduce Gap ACK blocks for broadcast link 
As achieved through commit 9195948fbf ("tipc: improve TIPC throughput
by Gap ACK blocks"), we apply the same mechanism for the broadcast link
as well. The 'Gap ACK blocks' data field in a 'PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG' will
consist of two parts built for both the broadcast and unicast types:

 31                       16 15                        0
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
|  bgack_cnt  |  ugack_cnt  |            len            |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+  -
|            gap            |            ack            |   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+    > bc gacks
:                           :                           :   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+  -
|            gap            |            ack            |   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+    > uc gacks
:                           :                           :   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+  -

which is "automatically" backward-compatible.

We also increase the max number of Gap ACK blocks to 128, allowing upto
64 blocks per type (total buffer size = 516 bytes).

Besides, the 'tipc_link_advance_transmq()' function is refactored which
is applicable for both the unicast and broadcast cases now, so some old
functions can be removed and the code is optimized.

With the patch, TIPC broadcast is more robust regardless of packet loss
or disorder, latency, ... in the underlying network. Its performance is
boost up significantly.
For example, experiment with a 5% packet loss rate results:

$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real    0m 42.46s
user    0m 1.16s
sys     0m 17.67s

Without the patch:

$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real    8m 27.94s
user    0m 0.55s
sys     0m 2.38s

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
